Flowers
A few of the wildflowers this year in our front yard.
The Yard
John entertained himself with his camera---surprised I able to get up again.
Tried to find the names in the Robert's book, but could not find them all.

The names are all secret because I can only find a picture of one of them in the Robert's Book, and without a picture, I am lost.

It is amazing that such glorious little flowers are hiding among all that sand, isnt it!
That purple/white one is one that I have never seen before..

Absolutely beautiful Diane. #7 looks like a California poppy. They are all magnificent.

The purple and white is lupine.
The lavender ones in the first shot (and also in Judy's first shot) might be desert verbena - it's the right time of year for that. Gonna have to
look 'em up in my book tonight.
Only ones I do not remember seeing are those little pod thingies in the last shot. They're cool.

Wonderful shots Diane!
My favorite one is the 5th from the top. Looks like it may be a lupine of some sort.
John is really getting into it, isn't he?

Diane - I think your flowers are named these:
the first purple one is Purple Sand Verbena...
the orange-red is Orange Bush Monkey Flower...
the purple-white is Miniature Lupine....
the yellow that's orange when closed is Yellow Evening Primrose...
not sure about the cute little white-pink blooms...
nor about the yellow with bumpy brown center - that may be Mexican Hat in its early stages?
Anyone who disagrees, please correct me.

We think the purple one is a lupine of some type. There are more that look like they will bloom. We sure are enjoying it. Glad some of you enjoyed
the pix. They are just better in person.
Today the wind was blowing and we just loved watching the movement of the flowers.
Igor,
John cannot be trusted with a camera. This time he took one of me stumbing getting up and he has been know to take pictures of me returning from
bushes when we are out in the boonies.
Nena,
Thanks. We will have no more secrets.
Diane

Lovely shots diane...I was distressed to see the little reddish chinese lantern looking ones though as these are deadly for horses...I haven't seen
this out by our place but Martillo sometimes goes to your yard to munch...I may have to enslave him once again if there is alot of this plant
around....darn...he was so happy to roam free. The Purple is such a wonderful fragrant flower...I love having fresh flowers on our table all the time
now...smells wonderful...wonder if we will get rain tomorrow or soon? Have you been enjoying the whales passing north? A huge one breached right out
front a couple days ago...spectacular!
